Hello, i purchased from a friend these exact rims listed in the url below. model L-Sportline Model IV. Tires are pirelli p zero front 245/35/20 back 275/30/20, would i have any issues installing them on my 2011 gs350 awd. I don't plan on lowering anything just installing the tires. thanks.

These tires are not a good match for AWD. I think 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 is a better match for AWD. Try the tire size calculator and see for yourself.

Not too sure if you have read up any threads regarding 20" on AWD without any drop or not, it may not produce the look that you want (it will have an "SUV" look). If you lower your AWD, you will find that there are many threads discussing about the vibration associated with this mod as well.

lowering a car just gives it such a better look in terms of its styling and makes it less turtly in my opinion, what is a good drop amount to get that look without making it look all tunner ish ?
